## What it is
A GitBook-hosted pentesting wiki containing commands, scripts, techniques, and cheatsheets used by the author during penetration tests. It covers recon, enumeration, web/cloud/mobile attacks, privilege escalation, post-exploitation, and reporting.

## Use cases
- learn penetration testing techniques
- cheatsheet for privilege escalation on linux and windows
- prepare for OSCP exam
- find recon and subdomain enumeration commands
- web pentest checklist
- kerberos attack cheatsheet
- compare web fuzzers and burp suite extensions
- mobile pentesting tips for android and ios

## When to choose
- you need a practical, regularly updated reference during pentests or CTFs
- you are studying for OSCP or building a pentest methodology
- you want curated tool comparisons and checklists in one place

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than documentation
- you require formal training or structured courses with labs
- you need guaranteed stability of links and structure, since pages move often

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, security, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: cli, windows
- tags: pentesting, oscp, cheatsheet, wiki, hacking, recon, privilege-escalation, bug-bounty, web-server, linux, macos
